NIST released a new version of the Cybersecurity Framework with a few key changes:
- It now can be applied beyond critical infrastructure, making it more versatile and straightforward to adopt.
- It introduces a new core “Govern” function that includes categories from other sections, with increased focus on supply chain risk management and accountability.
- It highlights synergies with the NIST Privacy Framework.
I often use this framework to develop and deliver information security strategy. Although, other methodologies exist, I find its layout and functions facilitate effective communication with various stakeholder groups, including the Board.
Similar to navigating the ISO 27001.2022 transition, cyber security leaders should develop a roadmap to to reach the target state based on current state assessment. NIST CSF 2.0 resources are in the public domain and can guide the implementation.
